Family & Children’s Services Hosts Free Screening

Please join us for a screening of The Homestretch, an Emmy Award-winning documentary on what it means to be young, homeless, and building a future in America today. Be prepared to be surprised, inspired, and challenged by the stories of homeless teens as they fight to stay in school and create a more hopeful future. Their stories connect with larger issues of poverty, race, juvenile justice, immigration, foster care, and LGBTQ+ rights.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with local leaders on youth homelessness in Tompkins County.

This event is co-sponsored by the Family & Children’s Service of Ithaca and The Learning Web. Admission is FREE. Donations are welcomed to support the work of Family & Children’s Service of Ithaca and The Learning Web.
